Cuil.com Making A Search Engine Splash
July 28th, 2008 Posted in Google
The last time ex-Google employee Anna Patterson created a search engine, it was quickly bought up by Google to upgrade their system. This time, Patterson’s search engine is not for sale.
Cuil.com (pronounced cool) is backed by $33 million in venture capital and claims it indexes more pages than Google. The search homepage lives up to its name, with a nice black background highlighted with bright blue trim. The search results are displayed different than the conventional results, with larger paragraphs lined horizontally rather than vertically.
Cuil.com could emerge as a dark horse in the search engine race if the results are better tailored to the search. Currently, results match as well as Google or Live.
